I think the toggl time tracking tool deserves an honorable mention (toggl.com). While it only does time tracking, it provides a desktop client that makes tracking time as easy as it could possibly be, especially for those who switch back and forth between tasks/projects/clients.

Unfortunately, they keep mucking up the reports and changing the web interface for no apparent reason. Also, they don’t integrate invoices; it does time tracking only.

How very useful. I’ve been toying with the idea of using Paymo and Freshbooks but wanted to see what else was out there before I signed up. I did not realize there were so many options out there and will spend some time today reviewing them all before settling on which one will work well for me. Thank you.

This is the best comparative review I’ve seen, good work!

I would also like to throw Moobiz http://www.moobiz.com into the mix, as it covers online invoicing, estimate creation, project management, time sheets, CRM and accounting / book keeping. As well as holiday management, shared calendar, business mileage etc.

Moobiz contains an app library with a wide selection of individual apps that can be combined to match business requirements and everything works seamlessly together…

Pricing starts at £15/month..

Thank you for that in-depth assessment of those 3 online billing and invoicing solutions. I have used Harvest in the past..it was a pretty good system, as far as features go, for me. I just needed more. I am currently using http://www.simplifythis.com. It handles everything I need from time tracking, to sending invoices and setting appointments. It’s worth a try.

Shameless plug for http://www.workingpoint.com – a new online invoicing and bookkeeping service.

Another alternative to the great products listed in this review is Intervals. It is a great app that can handle time tracking, invoicing, and other project management features all within one application.

You might want to check out our time tracking/invocing app at http://www.paymo.biz, we use a slightly different approach. I must admit that Harvers and Freshbooks are pretty cool
